Generalized solution of time dependent traveling load problem via moving finite element scheme

A finite element methodology is described which can handle the transient response of moving structures which are themselves subject to time dependent traveling load fields. The generality of the approach is such that it can handle the overall transient response due to moving loads whose magnitude, z...

Summary:A finite element methodology is described which can handle the transient response of moving structures which are themselves subject to time dependent traveling load fields. The generality of the approach is such that it can handle the overall transient response due to moving loads whose magnitude, zone of application and trajectory are time dependent. In addition to developing the overall transient solution methodology, attention is also given to establishing the overall eigenvalue properties of the linear problem as well as developing a solution for the steady vibrating case. To benchmark the overall procedure, the results of several numerical experiments are included in the presentation.
